ThePigMarcher Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Does look like it may be shaping up quite nicely , if they have managed to sort out the (previously mentioned) gameplay short-comings from the prequel I may have to give this another chance.
Owen Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 If you have the Gamecube game..this seems pretty pointless..i know it would be difficult to create controls for the other components..other then hitting and throwing...but it hasn't got enough depth for me..and i don't really like Baseball...but we'll see....

I'm surprised at you being so judgmental on a game you haven't played....very unlike you Owen
darkjak Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 This is just plain annoying. Why couldn't they just have finished Pennant Chase instead of making ANOTHER sportsgame with Mario slapped on. The graphics do look good, but, like I previously stated: give us Pennant Chase:

Also what i said about the game was 'fact' wasn't it? If someone can tell me there coming up with more controls for it..other then throwing the ball and hitting it..then great!

Deathborn Posted June 6, 2008 Author Posted June 6, 2008 What seems to be the (complete?) roster: Reveal hidden contents 1. Mario 2. Luigi 3. Wario 4. Waluigi 5. Peach 6. Daisy 7. Bowser 8. Bowser Jr. 9. Donkey Kong 10. Diddy Kong 11. Dixie Kong 12. Yoshi 13. Birdo 14. Toad 15. Toadette 16. Toadsworth 17. Baby Mario 18. Baby Luigi 19. Goomba 20. Para Goomba 21. Koopa Troopa 22. Para Troopa 23. Shy Guy 24. King Boo 25. Boo 26. Monty Mole 27. Petey Pirahna 28. Dry Bones 29. Hammer Bro 30. Pianta 31. Noki 32. Kamek Reveal hidden contents 33. Mii 34. Wiggler 35. Tiny Kong 36. Funky Kong 37. King K. Rool 38. Kritter 39. Blooper 40. Baby Peach 41. Baby Daisy 42. Baby DK Reveal hidden contents He should have been in MK instead of Baby Daisy... Don't know the original source so not sure about that (and since it comes from JeuxFrance which makes crappy things sometimes). EDIT: Nevermind. Seems to be the real deal: http://gonintendo.com/?p=45300 Reveal hidden contents Glad to see K.Rool! They probably keep his crappy design from the latest games he appears but, anyway: :yay: Don't know if I'll buy the game though.. Still find kinda sad the Mario and DK universe are officialy merged. Damn! Bring us a true DK platformer instead of using all those wonderful characters only in spin-offs!!

Well if you've read the 'Birdmen' article, and believe it; then this is Nintendo's way of 'upstreaming'. Very clever. "You liked WiiSports Baseball? Then try Mario Baseball it's a bit better!"
Deathborn Posted June 13, 2008 Author Posted June 13, 2008 Monty Mole and Kamek are so awesome it's a shame we don't see them more...
Dynamo Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 This could be quite fun thanks to the controls, but probably would get pretty boring quickly. Looks like they're going for some sort of character record - I'd imagine they'd include all the well-known characters and it looks as though they're going to include all those minor characters as well.

Deathborn Posted June 23, 2008 Author Posted June 23, 2008 K.Rool got a new egyptian-style outfit in this game. In motion (with most of the new hidden characters): :yay: Glad to see him change outfit at last! The last time was in DK64. This character is meant to change every game. Maybe they finally understand this ... Seeing this and all the DK stuff in this game remembers me of the recent DKC4 rumor... Why would K.Rool dresses as an ancient egyptian to play baseball? Maybe it's a hint at a "to be announced soon" game.
markderoos Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 Guess this will not come to Europe eh? Been a very long time since I heard anything about it... By the way, this is my first time around here, might be rude not to further introduce myself I'm Mark from Holland, Nintendo fan since the NES era, 28 yrs old. Pleased to meet you all!
Retro_Link Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 Welcome to the forums!! Had forgotten about this game! I'm guessing we won't be seeing it.
markderoos Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 Thanks, I'm not sure if I should be sad missing this particulair game, but it keeps bugging me when we are missing on ANY firstparty title available to either Japan or the USA

The King is looking pretty swish and you're right, he should be changing a bit more often unless...

Fused King Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 So when will this game be releases in Europe and is it all ready free out there in Japan and the U.S. ?
ThePigMarcher Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Will be surprised if it lands on our shores now , especially as it wasn't particularly well received elsewhere. I was looking increasingly unlikely to bother with it anyway. Of course , NoE may have decided to delay this for us to include an online mode (as this was a massive oversight previously) , but then there is as much chance of that as there is of MLB being free from 'roids .

dwarf Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 I'm glad Boo has been included in all these spinoffs from quite early on cause he is my favourite Mushy K character since seeing him in Mario 64 mainly, but also in old Gameboy games as well. Cheeky bastard.
